§552

‘I lived alone at the time, in a cottage in a rural area, although I am a commuter most of my neighbours work in farming. This was very late at night and in heavy rain and I had gone outside to get wood for the fire from the wood store. My wood store is a lean-to adjoining my shed. I heard a noise coming from inside the shed. I didn’t pay any attention as I am used to animals poking round my garden at night. On hearing a louder noise I feared burglars and went to investigate. On reaching the front of the shed I saw the door was off its catch. I went inside and, as I did, something brushed past me. I turned round and saw a figure which was child-sized (two- or three-years-old) but was proportioned and moved as an adult would, run to the bottom of the garden and jump the fence with a hurdling motion. It ran onto farmland and disappeared from view. It appeared to be wearing dark, baggy clothes. That was it, it didn’t cause any damage and to my knowledge it has never been back.’ ‘Infant size’. ‘This was a humanoid figure, child size but NOT a child. The figure had substance and needed to jump not walk through things.’ ‘I don’t believe that even if an alien life form exists that they have the technology to travel the distances required to visit Earth and if they did, why would they just look in my tool shed.’ What are fairies? ‘I don’t know but some kind of sentient beings’. ‘I saw what I saw. I wasn’t dreaming or hallucinating and I can’t find any other rational explanation. I have never had any kind of supernatural experience and simply don’t believe in ghosts.’
